Using old radio potentiometer for Raspberry setup
#13
A small update. I just received a 6 euro ADS1115 board from eBay, expecting it to be fake, and it is genuine! I am using it with a 90 cent potentiometer (including aluminium knob) and connecting with 10cm Dupont connector wires. Trying different potentiometer positions the readings run from 0 - 26000, and at any potentiometer position readings constantly vary in a range width of around 5, which seems pretty good, given the setup. I'll run some tests in the new year to check how the readings wander with time and temperature, and document the results as an indicator of a minimal performance.

Adrian.

P.S. I am changing the turnandrun band selection logic, as it was written for choosing radio stations and may not be the best for a volume control. I am also adding in support for using four potentiometers. (I do not know when these changes will be ready).
